The fire of the Granadella and the sculptures of Miguel García to the cinema

Phoenix. This is the title of the film that is being recorded in Xàbia. This is the story of the devastating fire that occurred in Xàbia three and a half years ago (September 2016). Flames that changed the lives and feelings of many.

Behind this catastrophe there are many stories. Stories full of memories, of kindness, of difficult and terrible moments but also with a positive part. During these days, the solidarity of an entire people was present. The citizenship turned to help all those affected.

And within these stories is also that of Miguel Ángel Miguel García, a young man from Xàbia who wanted to bring light to the ashes. The elaboration of sculptures on burned tree trunks filled Pinosol's recreational area with joy. Miguel García, of his own accord, and without funding, contributed his grain of sand for providing beauty despite the catastrophe suffered.

Gross points out that "This story is special, a happy story of disaster, a story of thanks to everyone who worked, positive energy and not giving up. The movie is called Phoenix by the Greek mythology of the phoenix rising from the ashes ".

The creation of a Phoenix bird by the sculptor xabiero will symbolize this great story with which Gross hopes to obtain a visionary sponsor to help move forward with this film. The project can be followed in https://www.oneminute-pr.de/phoenix-film-project/ and in the Facebook group "Stories of fire of Jávea", in which each citizen can contribute their history, their experience of This catastrophe. In addition, the sponsor will appear in the movie and will have the great advantage of being able to use it to advertise their business. The film will be distributed in Social Networks through groups in this area making it possible to become viral with more than one million views.

Gross thanks Miguel García's willingness to collaborate in this production.
